And this quote belongs on here too:
“His highlights are sick,” said Lakers forward Ron Artest, repeating the declaration as if speaking in capital letters. “I wish he dunks on me. I’m not going to lie. I hope he dunks on me, puts his shoulders on my face and like, ‘Aaaaah!’ Just crazy. Lights it up. His highlights are stupid.”

theres no reason why he shouldnt end up as one of the absolutely best players of his generation - i mean can he be better than durant - i dont know
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 1 January 2011 19:55 (thirteen years ago) link
To me the real question is: can he be better than Tim Duncan?
― I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Saturday, 1 January 2011 20:20 (thirteen years ago) link
hmm i do not think he can be better than tim duncan, because hes never gonna be half the defender and i dont think he can be twice the scorer
duncan i believe to be btw the finest player of his generation over kobe and garnett
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 1 January 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I think he can be every bit as good as Duncan, but it will require him to improve his game substantially.
But players improve, so who knows? He is MUCH more athletic than Duncan ever was imo.
― I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Saturday, 1 January 2011 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
He's already as bad at free throws as Duncan is lol
its interesting to think abt, they are v different players
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 1 January 2011 21:20 (thirteen years ago) link
To match Duncan's total game, Blake would need to have a similar mindset. He doesn't. Not to say Blake can't be huge if he stays healthy.
― Aimless, Saturday, 1 January 2011 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link
that is a v interesting question
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 1 January 2011 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link
xp that's the thing, they're actually not far apart temperamentally or in terms of 'basketball iq', his ability to read the floor in particular is a shade off of rookie tim, which is to say excellent at this age; blake's athleticism and skillset has channeled his game differently but there's no reason he couldn't or indeed wouldn't develop the method, precision, or experiential skills duncan has and be as relatively valuable to his team as duncan was/is (which is not the same as being as good as tim duncan granted).
― señor nagls (tremendoid), Saturday, 1 January 2011 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Rookie per game stats:Blake Griffin: 21.5p, 12.4r, 3.2a, 0.8s, 0.6b, 2.8toTim Duncan: 21.1p, 11.9r, 2.7a, 0.7s, 2.5b, 3.4to
Pretty similar except for Duncan's huge blocks advantage.

This is before my time so I wouldn't know but would a good comparison for Griffin be pre-surgery Amare? He was talked about the same way, right?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Monday, 3 January 2011 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
don't think he had the same level of moves
― pomp la familia (Hurting 2), Monday, 3 January 2011 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link
theres a similarity there for sure, young amare seemed like he didnt really need moves, like hed just turn and dunk over anyone in a way that didnt quite make sense, griffin is more overtly spectacular
― ice cr?m, Monday, 3 January 2011 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
im sure amares footwork and all the subtle stuff was perfect, but the overall impression was of someone playing a different game than everyone else, dropped 40+ on duncan in back to back playoff games iirc

"We get behind early on in the third quarter on some stupid plays -- poor passing, poor transition defense -- and then Kobe has to screw up the game and start energizing the team by going one-on-one and that takes the rest of the guys out as a consequence," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said after the game.Jackson clarified what he meant when he said "screw up the game" after practice, taking some of the bite out of the sound bite."When a game starts getting out of hand -- and rightly so -- Kobe will crank it up, not screw it up," Jackson said. "I used that term 'screw it up' but not in terms of it being an error or a mistake, but 'crank it up.' He'll go to another notch to try to get us back in the ballgame. That's something we do in the fourth quarter, that's our fourth quarter action, that's how we win ballgames. To have to crank it up and do that in the third quarter, we didn't have much left in the gas tank after that."

The old unis from the '60s/'70s are "The City" uniforms and the new ones are inspired by that style.

Hollinger:
"The other thing you'll notice from the chart, again, is the quality of the comparables. Of the other 12 best rookies in the past three decades, all but two are either in the Hall of Fame or well on their way. We'll try really hard to ignore the fact that the two exceptions both played for the Clippers."
(Elton Brand & Terry Cummings are the two exceptions)
